The crew fed the fish to help us see more of the beautiful species. We got plenty of time at the snorkeling and on the islands. On the way back from the islands the Captain took the time to stop and allow us to see the dolphins while other boats raced back to port. The food was delicious and the drink plenty. The most perfect day. We loved it. Thank you so much!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 438 reviews · 6 hours · from $65

“The Catamaran cruise itself was great, the crew was nice, the food was good. The snorkeling spot was great but I think there are better places around Ile aux Cerfs to see more and more colourful fishes. The GSRE waterfall was disappointing and too many boats with tourists have been around. Ile aux Cerfs itself was very nice, has a lot of beautiful beaches but we only had 1,5 hours there. That was too less time to find a nice place and to relax or snorkel.”
